What Are Weft Hair Extensions? (Explained Simply)
Weft hair extensions are long sections of real human hair sewn onto a horizontal strip called a “weft.”
Unlike single-strand extensions (like micro-beads or keratin bonds), wefts cover a wider area of the scalp, giving you instant volume and length with fewer application points.
There are several professional application methods, including:
- Sew-in / braid-in: Stylist braids your natural hair, then sews the weft into the braid.
- Beaded / micro-bead: The weft is attached using tiny silicone-lined beads — no glue, no heat.
- Glue / adhesive: Lightweight adhesives are used to secure the weft flat to the scalp.

How Long Do Weft Extensions Last?

Overall Lifespan of the Hair: 9–12 months with proper care.
Reapplication involves simply moving the weft closer to the scalp as your natural hair grows out.
With the right aftercare, Medusa wefts stay shiny, soft, and reusable.
Do Weft Extensions Damage Your Hair?
When applied by a professional stylist, weft extensions are safe and non-damaging. Here’s why:
Beaded methods avoid heat and glue.
Sew-in methods use braids as the base, protecting your natural hair.
Proper installation and removal are key to preventing breakage.
Tip: Always have your wefts applied and removed by a qualified stylist for the best results.
